Brewer was told of liis appointment as he was entering the Federal building to open the circuit court. The judge was so deeply moved by the announcement that tears sprang to his eyes. "Well, it may be true,'1 he said, "though it is a great surprise to me. I could hardly be expected to say that I would refuse so good an appointment." A few moments later Judge Brewer received a telegram from Washington confirming the first report and offering congratulations. The news had by this time become generally known and the new justice of the supreme court met with congratulations from all sides. In his review of the situation "as it is now presented," the secretary says that "the continned coinago of the silver dollar, at a constantly increasing monthly quota, is a disturbing element in the otherwise excellent financial condition of the country, and -a positive hindrance to any international agreement looking to the free coinage of both metals at a fixed ratio," and that "mandatory purchases by the government of stated quantities of silver, and mandatory coinage of the same into full legal tender dollars, are on unprecedented anomaly and have proved futile, not only in restoring the value of silver, but even in staying the downward price of that metal." In the Cronln Trial. Chicago, Dev. 3.— At tbs opening •( the Crotiin murdor case Attorney Donahu* began his argument for tbe defense.

The counsel then described how he had been retained to defend O'SuIiivan, and said he had never heard of the man until he was informed of him by Hike Whalen, and never saw him until he visited him in jail.

A veritable divinity seems to have hedged us while we journeyed. I say it with reverence. It has impelled us whither it would, effected its own will, but nevertheless guided and protected us. What can yon make of this, for instance! On Aug. 17, 1887, all the officers of the rear column are united at Yam boy a. They have my letter of instructions before them, but instead of preparing for the morrow's march, to follow our track, they decide to wait at Yumbuya, which decision initiates the moat awful season any community of men ever endured in Africa or elsewhere. Mr. Donahue then took up the defense of Kunse, and attacked the testimony of young James and questioned Its credibility. Bs took up again the dubiousness of identification, enlarged on the cases in his reaolleotion and quoted from books to complete his illustration* He then referred to Mertes' and James' testimony sbout their seeing Kunte at 117 Clark street and at the gate of the Carlson cottage, and said that to thi*k such testimony was worthy of serious consideration was absurd.
